spelling	Introduction: since it began to operate, a factory in the city of Manizales produces fibrocement with chrysotile asbestos bras, under controlled industrial hygiene conditions.Objective: to study the prevalence of pathological conditions related with exposure to chrysotile bras present in the air in the total population active on December 31 2012, the history of cumulative exposure to bras, the time of work for the company, and the history of tobacco use.Materials and methods: cross-cut study that compared the results of chest radiographs according to the ILO International Classification of Radiographs of Pneumoconioses, with characteristics of age, time of work for the company, tobacco use, and cumulative exposure.Results: in all workers, the absence of pulmonary or pleural pathologies associated with exposure to particulate material was determined.The mean age of the population was 41 years, the mean time of work for the company was 12 years, the mean cumulative exposure to bras was 1,33 bras/cc/year, and low rates of active tobacco use.When comparing the results of this study with other studies available in the literature, it was found that has been described in other studies is reproduced in this company.Conclusion: the possibility of keeping workers free from the noxious consequences of exposure to chrysotile bras cannot be ruled out, even when the recommended industrial hygiene measures are applied.
